Hello Chris,

Yes, I am the one in the same "Helen from Chicago" that used to post when the forum started.

Thank you for the suggestion of the appendicitis...but my appendix is in great shape...so unfortunately, I still dont have an answer as to WHERE these adhesions came from...no endometriosis either....and sadly, I am getting more of them. I called my GI, last week and told him I have a new adhesion...he said it was because of surgery. But doc, my surgery was over 1 year ago! So explain that! He said "Yes, its possible"...That doesnt ring right with me. Basically, he told me take my Levsin, see you in 6 months. Um..thanks! That was "helpful!".

So..I dunno...frustration on top of frustration as to the cause.

Talk to you all soon.
